Sharp LC-52D92U Review
The brand new LC-52D92U from Sharp is a 52-inch large LCD set which has a stylish but thin black frame and some of the best ever black levels for a LCD. Full 1080p resolution with three HDMI ports. Cnet have reviewed the LC-52D92U and say, a native resolution of 1,920×1,080 pixels, aka 1080p, distinguishes the Sharp LC-52D92U from lower-resolution models. All of those pixels allow it to resolve every detail of 1080i and 1080p HDTV sources; all other sources, including 720p HDTV, DVD, and standard-definition TV, are scaled to fit the pixels. Sharp also adds a 120Hz refresh rate to the spec sheet.
The picture quality of the Sharp LC-52D92U was mostly solid with one glaring exception. On one hand it delivered the darkest shade of black any flat-panel display we’ve tested yet, LCD or plasma models including the former champ, Sharp’s own LC-46D62U. On the other, it evinced the same uniformity problems that plagued its predecessor.
The LC-52D92U also delivered excellent detail, although as usual its 1080p resolution didn’t noticeably outperform the lower-resolution display–in this case the 1,366×768 Panasonic TH-50PH9UK–unless we sat closer than about 7 feet and paid very close attention to the very best 1080i and 1080p material.
